Huntingdonshire District Council supports a policy that provides a positive framework for stand-alone renewable energy projects and upgrades to grid capacity.

The Council support criteria which consider the impacts on residential amenity and quality of life, landscape, biodiversity, heritage and water quality.
It is considered that any potentially hazardous uses such as battery storage facilities should be accompanied by a risk/safety assessment and appropriate responses to unforeseen events and meet the requirements as set out in the NPPG.

The Huntingdonshire Local Plan to 2036 supports proposals for renewable and low carbon energy through policy LP35. Consideration of Landscape, townscape and heritage impacts must be addressed as part of the development. The Council would expect any such development within proximity of the Huntingdonshire boundary to consider this in its assessment.
Huntingdonshire District Council have produced a Landscape Townscape SPD which can be used to assess the effects of any schemes that are in proximity to the Huntingdonshire District.
